The growing interest in integrating elements of the city’s structure and design into the assessment and management of urban mobility has contributed to the development of new methods and tools to deepen this aspect. The identification of ‘mobility environments’ could be seen as an important conceptual and methodological development in this regard, which opens up new possibilities for the generation of methods that better understand the link between mobility and urban environment from a perspective that can be useful in planning practice. This article is intended to elaborate on the above issue, with specific reference to pedestrian mobility mobility, thus presenting the Pedestrian Characterisation method (CPEM) as a useful tool for assessing ‘mobility environments’ in terms of pedestrian quality, using the following four factors: (I) accessibility; (II) security; (III) comfort; (IV) attraction. In order to verify the consistency and usefulness of CPEM in relation to its initial objective, it has been applied to the case study of two ‘mobility environments’ previously identified on a corridor in the metropolitan area of Granada, Spain.
